CHROMATOGRAPHIA is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the latest advances in separation sciences. Its goal is to monitor state-of-the-art research and to promote study, research and improvement within its various application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research, and preparative and process-scale applications. The journal focuses on papers that show the scope and power of separation sciences when combined with spectroscopic methods, in particular with mass spectrometry. In addition to exciting new areas in chromatography such as ultra-high-pressure and high-temperature approaches, CHROMATOGRAHIA focusses on hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. The recent developments in separation-related sampling and sampling-preparation approaches, and in particular the combination of these techniques with the above-mentioned metho

The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal's scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ) is an online journal publishing research articles and reviews after full peer review. All articles are published, without barriers to access, immediately upon acceptance. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together through the application of computational methods. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules
• Structure and function of multi-component complexes
• Protein folding, processing and degradation
• Enzymology
• Computational and structural studies of plant systems
• Microbial Informatics
• Genomics
• Proteomics
• Metabolomics
• Algorithms and Hypothesis in Bioinformatics
• Mathematical and Theoretical Biology
• Computational Chemistry and Drug Discovery
• Microscopy and Molecular Imaging
• Nanotechnology
• Systems and Synthetic Biology

While all general topics related to Computational and Structural Biology are welcomed, the editors reserve the right to pre-screen submissions based on the suitability of the topic of a submission and, therefore, the right as whether a manuscript will be processed/reviewed or not. Even though experimental validation is not required for publication, reliability and significance of biological discovery are validated and enriched by experimental studies.

The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence, and enables the rapid publication of papers under the following categories:

• Research articles
• Review articles
• Mini Reviews
• Highlights
• Communications
• Software/Web server articles
• Methods articles

The aim of this journal is to help readers understand expert views on current advances in the field of bladder dysfunction by systematically providing review articles that highlight the most important papers recently published.

We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities in key subject areas across the discipline to select topics reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments, novel research, and highlight important papers published over the past year on their topics. We also highlight areas that have not received attention in the past and are important to an international audience, such a voiding dysfunction in reconstructed bladders and voiding dysfunction associated with genitourinary infections. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members also suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
